Spring has a way of making everything feel new again. The days grow warmer, the landscape begins to brighten and nature slowly shifts into a new season.
At Little Eden, spring is an invitation to get outdoors, slow down and rediscover the simple pleasure of being surrounded by nature. Set within the De Tweedspruit Conservancy, the resort offers 600 hectares of natural surroundings to explore.
Wake up to the sounds of spring
One of the best things about escaping the city is swapping traffic and alarms for the sounds of the bushveld.
Spring mornings at Little Eden are perfect for opening the door, enjoying that first cup of coffee and listening to the birds. Birdlife forms an important part of the experience here, with visitors encouraged to keep an eye out for species while exploring the resort’s trails. You don’t need to be an experienced birder either. Sometimes simply stopping to listen is enough.
See the landscape come alive
After the drier winter months, spring gradually brings a change to the landscape. New growth appears, warmer days return and the surroundings begin taking on a fresher feel.
It makes September a wonderful time to grab your walking shoes and head out on one of Little Eden’s hiking trails.
The trails wind through the natural landscape towards beautiful viewpoints, rock pools and the waterfall. Along the way, you may also spot some of Little Eden’s wild residents, including kudu, zebra, baboons and elephant shrews. Remember, wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. That unexpected rustle in the bush or movement between the trees is part of the adventure.
Hike to the waterfall
Spring calls for a little adventure, and a hike to the waterfall is one of the experiences worth adding to your Little Eden getaway.
Take your time along the trail, stop to appreciate the views and enjoy being somewhere where there is no need to rush. Little Eden’s waterfall and rock pools are part of the natural landscape that has made the resort a favourite escape for nature lovers. Pack some water, wear comfortable shoes and don’t forget the camera
Spend more time outside
Not every spring day needs a plan. Perhaps yours involves a picnic, a round of mini-golf or outdoor chess. Maybe it means fishing, cooling off at the swimming pool or simply finding a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Little Eden offers all of these activities on site. As the evening approaches, gather around the communal bonfire or enjoy a braai and watch another day in the bushveld come to an end.
A fresh start in nature
Spring is often associated with fresh starts, and sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what is needed. At Little Eden, there is room to breathe, explore and spend time with the people who matter. There are trails waiting to be walked, birds waiting to be spotted and warmer days waiting to be enjoyed.
So shake off winter, pack your walking shoes and welcome the new season surrounded by nature.
